APL Jeju 2026: Full Schedule, Key Events & How to Qualify
ACE Poker League (APL) is just weeks away from its biggest stop of the year, with APL Jeju 2026 set to run from June 19 to 28 at the Les A Casino in Jeju Island, South Korea. The series spans 38 events across ten days, with a KRW 1,200,000,000 guaranteed Main Event and a total series guarantee of KRW 1,500,000,000.
The series marks another milestone for APL as it celebrates its 10th anniversary, and the Jeju stop is shaping up to be its most ambitious yet. For players looking to qualify online, Natural8 is running daily satellites through to June 19 with 200 guaranteed Main Event seats on offer — step entry from just ¥20 CNY. Online qualifiers who cash in the Main Event also receive an additional 10% bonus on their payout as part of the anniversary celebrations. You can read more about the satellite pipeline in our earlier coverage here.
Highlighted Events
The schedule has plenty to get excited about beyond the Main Event. The GGPK Zodiac Mystery Bounty (#5) runs from June 20 to 22 with a KRW 200,000,000+ guarantee and a World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event Pass as a bonus bounty — one of the more unique incentives on the Asian circuit this year. Two dedicated Road to WSOP Glory satellites (#WS1 on June 22 and #WS2 on June 23) each guarantee a WSOP Main Event seat.
The APL Kick-Off (₩600,000, KRW 80,000,000 GTD) gets things underway on June 19, with the Super High Roller Championship (₩6,000,000 buy-in) and PLO Bounty Hunter giving the high-stakes contingent something to target in the closing weekend. The Mini Main Event (#32) (₩800,000, KRW 100,000,000 GTD) also runs across three starting flights on June 27, offering a lower buy-in route into a guaranteed prize pool.
